A satire of the English judicial system, centered on the endless legal case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce.
This book is a murder mystery wrapped in a legal comedy. It centers on a court case that has dragged on for generations, destroying everyone involved. The irony is delicious. The audiobook captures the humor of Dickens’ caricatures perfectly. You get a massive cast of eccentrics, villains, and heroes. It is a sharp, funny, and angry book about how the system grinds people down.
